Den's Tea Houji-Kukicha Revisited

I first tried Den's Houji-Kukicha about a year ago and enjoyed it. Later I tried Hibiki's Houji Karigane but didn't care for it as much. Now I am giving Den's another try and I sill prefer it.

Its simplicity appeals to me. Add a heap of leave with some boiling water and lett it sit for a minute or two or three, whatever, and you have a cup of warm, roasted goodness. Nothing fancy but pleasurable.

If you are looking for a roasted kukicha, my advice is to go with Den's.

Hello, With kukicha I used to put the twigs into the bottom of a sauce pan and heat them lightly while turning the pan. A curry like aroma would come from the heated twigs. I would let the pan cool slightly and add water for steeping. Happy Easter, Hammock Man

I agree with you on the Houjicha Kukicha from Den's. I have two bags of it sitting in my cupboard that have been tempting me for the past couple of weeks. I've been on a roasted oolong kick lately so I think that roasted flavour is what is tempting me. I just need to work up the courage to reach all the way to the back of the cupboard and brew up a pot.

It's a shame you no longer have time for this blog. I'm the National Tea Examiner for Examiner.com and I wanted to put your blog on a list of top ten tea blogs, but I don't know if I should if you aren't going to post anymore entries.

Hello, I am also a tea lover. I am really enjoying your blog. Some great posts. I wonder if you have ever tried Turkish tea?? All this reading about tea inspired me to write a post on my own blog about tea here in Turkey.http://theistanbulletin.com/2012/10/07/eat-cay-turkish-tea/

The triangle bottom, it is easy to adjust the strength of tea depending on your taste without making a mess. This is how you do it: Just tilt the Magisso Teacup so that the filter side of the cup is lower. Then place tea leaves into the filter, pour hot water until leaves are covered and let it steep for a while. By tilting the Magisso Teacup the other way, tea doesn't get any stronger. Now tea is ready to be enjoyed while leaves in the strainer spread their natural fragrance. Made from SAN (thermo resistant food grade plastic) glosssy interior and matte exterior.

Welcome to Another Tea Blog

Ok, I fought it and fought it, but the blog is officialy dead. It saddens me, as tea has given me much pleasure, as has this blog. Unfortunately for now my interests and hobbies have moved on to other things.

Even without updates, many people still find their way to this blog. It is my hope that it will still be a source of information to some. I have dissabled the comment moderation. If you wish to leave a comment, feel free, but I will most likely not respond.

Hopefully this is temporary. Hopefully tea will once agian be the source of pleasure that it was to me. And in the mean time, hopefully it will continue to be a source of pleasure for you.
